And thus it begins.The Russian collusion conspiracy theory managed an impressive, paradoxical feat by collapsing under its own weightlessness. The first impeachment of President Donald Trump, predicated on an allegation of a quid pro quo involving Ukrainian military funding tied to an investigation of the Bidens’ dealings with the Ukrainian energy firm Burisma, ended in acquittal.The second impeachment is predicated upon (among other things) “incitement of insurrection” derived from Trump’s speech before the Capitol incursion. Unless Democrats can prove that Trump didn’t really mean it when he told his supporters on Jan. 6 to march “peacefully and patriotically” to the Capitol and that he was fully appraised of the threat of violence going into his speech, a conviction is unlikely to happen.
